WASHINGTON NEWS.
The New Dynamite Gun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Army and navy
circles have been much interested in the ex-
periments made in New York harbor with
Lieut.. Zalinski's pneumatic gun for firing
nitro-glycerine shells. If it proves a sue
cess, as it now promises to, it is more likely
to be used on land than at sea, notwith-
standing the fact that it is the Secretary of
the Navy who has been pursuing the recent
investigations. Its land use, though, will
be for the defence of harbors. 1t would
probably be- impossible to make a COM
pressed-air gun short enough for effective
use on shipboard, where there must be abun-
dant room for running 1t in and out in rapid
broadside work. AS a defender of the ship
ping ON a coast, however, most of the off,
GERS of both army and navy who have seen

government take it up, three sizes will be

whose shell contains 600 pounds, The chief
merits urged by experts for this gun in case
mate use, are its absolute accuracy-com-
pressed air not being liable to the same fluc-
tuatlng conditions as gunpowder charges
and the economy OF storage room for its am
muuition. The eyes of European powers
have already been attracted to the new gun,
and it may be that another life-destroyer
will be adopted by them from Yankee-land.

S. F. Kyle, the proprietor of the Trade Pal
dry goods store. in Ladoga. which was
robbed on the night of the 9Th inst, came to
the city last evening, and identified the goods
found in the possession of Henry Morris. the
thief arrested Friday evening, as some taken
from his store. All the articles bore his trade
mark, and the plush cloak the Smith woman
wore when arrested one that he had had
made for his wife in Cincinnati at a cost Of $50.
MIR. Kyle says that over 81. 400 worth OF goods
were taken from his store, and Superintendent
Travis last evening learned of trunk full OF
goods the thief had stored away for safe keep
ing. The robbery neatly executed. The
thieves went into the store, and without light
ing lamp went through the drawers contain
ing the finest of silks and cloaks, and took the
most costly. Mr. Kyle says that one of tho
persons connected with the robbery must have
been connected with the store II wouldn't
have missed finding the goods for 81. $780," said
he. after he had identified them, ..for there
were people in Ladoga who believed that had
robbed the store myself" The officers learned
yesterday that MorrIs's right name is Clouser,
and that he belongs in Upton. He will be re-
turned to Ladoga for trial. and there is a clew
that will probably lead to the arrest of his con-
federates in the crime.
